Don't call me evil god

Chapter 644 Controllable Pollution?

Marquis Madison narrowed his eyes, and the aura he exuded made Pete instinctively feel a little uncomfortable.

"Reverend Terrence, are you free? I need to ask you something!"

Pete watched as the other party generously greeted the glowing priest who was whispering to his female companion.

Upon hearing this, the Radiant God priest named Terence kissed the cheek of the girl next to him helplessly.

Pete vaguely heard the other party say something like "Honey, wait a moment."

Terence walked up to Pete and Marquis Madison and clinked glasses with them in a familiar manner.

"Madison Hou, what do you want from me?"

"Hehe..." Marquis Madison smiled meaningfully and explained, "Our hero may have just left the battlefield against monsters. His nerves are a little oversensitive. Now we need an orthodox priest of the light to guide these confused people."

"For example, Mr. Chinal doesn't quite understand why the [Detect Evil] divine detection is not required in Monger Manor."

A look of realization appeared on Reverend Terrence's face.

"That's it, I understand."

He pointed toward the ceiling, motioning for Pete and the others to look up.

On the ceiling in the center of the banquet hall, there are more than a dozen light gray balls, each the size of a fist, placed in a transparent crystal cube and suspended in the air with gold and silver silk threads.

These balls do not emit light like lamps, and they are not very large in size, so they are easily overlooked.

If Terence hadn't specifically reminded Pete, he really wouldn't have noticed it.

"See them?" inquired Reverend Terence.

Pete's eyes fixed.

He used the [Revelation of All Things] to observe and could see that those light grey spheres had unique names:
"Fanatical core."

The description of this item only has one sentence:

"It has been distorted by the void and cannot be displayed."

This means that those light gray spheres are items that have been contaminated by the power of the void and have not been completely purified by the glow magic!

Reverend Terrence looked very relaxed, not nervous at all:

"Don't be nervous, sir. They are safe."

"I know that you are very cautious about things related to the evil god at the border. Anything that is contaminated must be purified. I heard that more than half of the spoils of war at the border are burned and destroyed every year to prevent the pollution of the void from spreading."

“That’s the right thing to do, but it’s also very wasteful.”

Priest Terence patiently explained to Pete and the others:

"For example, the ones hanging above, we now call them [Fanatical Heart Cores]."

"There's a chance to find their prototypes from the hearts of some humanoid monsters."

"If it is completely purified, it will turn into an off-white blocky powder and become the magical material for releasing the [Clarity] spell."

Pete was stunned.

When he was hunting monsters, he also collected the raw materials mentioned by Priest Terrence, but he did not know the knowledge about the processing of monster materials. Usually, he would directly hand over the raw materials to the believers who were responsible for processing and purification, and they would purchase them with gold coins or destiny points.

“There is no completely purified material. Although it still has a slight contamination, as long as it is used properly, the contamination will quickly dissipate once you are away from it.”

"Within the effective range of the [Fanatical Heart Core]'s 'pollution', it will make people's minds more clear-headed and excited."

"When pollution levels get serious, the effects go from euphoric to insane."

"But that requires long-term proximity to it, about several months or even years, to produce obvious effects." "If it is just a short stay of a few days like this banquet, there is no doubt that the positive effects it can bring far outweigh the harm it may cause."

Terrence said, and quickly drew a circle on his chest.

This represents the act of praying to the God of Light.

"Praise the glory. Please rest assured that even if an unexpected situation really occurs, we can always use divine magic to complete the purification, and there will not be any uncontrollable serious consequences."

Miranda frowned as she listened.

This was completely contrary to the teachings of the followers of Radiance that she had accepted and recorded in the classics.

The mission of the Crusaders is to be irreconcilable with all evil gods and their creations.

When faced with enemies, the only option for the Crusaders is to completely destroy and purify them, and Miranda has always done so.

Even if it was a monster's corpse, after collecting the corresponding materials, Miranda wanted Gale to help her rub a ball of fire to burn it cleanly, leaving absolutely no hidden dangers.

She found it hard to believe that a serious priest of the Church of the Light would actually say that "monster materials" did not need to be completely purified and could instead utilize the polluting power of the void.

Miranda shook her head vigorously and calmly recited: "The Radiant Doctrine, Chapter 2, Paragraph 7."

"Enemy of the void, eternal opposition."

"The mortal world will not allow the things of evil gods to remain. God will give us great power, and we will eventually purify the world for Him."

According to the doctrine of the Radiant Creed, what Reverend Terrence said was strictly speaking blasphemous.

Terrence looked relaxed, and explained to Miranda in the tone of an experienced person:
"My child, your faith is sincere and firm, and there is nothing wrong with that."

"But doctrines are things that were summarized by our predecessors and reflect the dire circumstances of their time."

"The world is not static. For example, many new radiant divine arts that have been introduced in the past hundred years did not exist in the era of our ancestors. How can this be explained by doctrine?"

"Doctrine should not be a rigid dogma. When we find a better way, we should let the Lord's doctrine keep pace with the times, rather than clinging to the scriptures of the past."

"If you think this is wrong, then let me ask you, kid."

"Why didn't the Lord punish us? Why didn't He take back His blessings from us?"

As he spoke, Terrence stroked the emblem of the Church of Light on his chest, chanted a prayer, and raised his hand to release a [Divine Word: Shield] for Miranda.

This proves that he is still able to use the glow magic normally.

He is also a believer who can receive blessings from the God of Light.

Miranda's expression froze.

She really didn't know how to refute the other party.

Priest Terrence spread his hands and said, "Because the [Fanatical Heart Core] is placed in the banquet hall, if we use [Detect Evil] to check it here, the power of the divine art will naturally warn us that there is a contaminating force of the void here."

"But this is already a completely controllable pollution."

"The so-called warning is clearly a rigid and harsh misjudgment."

"At least in the capital, the divine arts' warnings should only be used as a reference. What we really need to do is to use our own eyes and wisdom to make more detailed identification and judgments."

“We believe in the Lord of Light and praise His power and gifts, but we don’t need to blindly follow His strict standards.”

"What do you say, kid?"
